Red Ribbon Week
Thank you sharks for participating in Red Ribbon Spirit Week that started on the 27th of October.
On Monday we wore crazy socks to say, “Sock it to drugs.” I think this was very successful because we are saying something big, by wearing something simple; crazy socks.
On Tuesday we wore super hero clothes to say that we are heroes, not zeros. This was a fun way to say no to drugs, so I think it was a big success.
On Wednesday we wore red to represent red ribbon week. It was a huge success because it was an easy thing to participate.
On Thursday we wore our Halloween costumes to represent the up coming holiday. People that participated earned an Own It stamp.
The next time we do Red Ribbon Week, I believe it will be a huge success!!
Thank you to all the sharks that participated in Colors for Cancer Spirit Week that took place on the week of October 20th. In case you don’t remember, we wore different colors that symbolized a different type of cancer each day. In addition, we collected coloring books, crayons, colored pencils, etc from you to give to children currently diagnosed with cancer. Thank you NJHS and Best Buddies for working with us to do this!
Monday – Orange for Leukemia
Tuesday – White for Lung Cancer
Wednesday – Pink for Breast Cancer
Thursday – Yellow for Childhood Cancer
Friday – Purple for all types of cancer
This was a huge success of the students at our school thanks to the students who participated in the spirit week. I hope we can do this again next year.
At the end of each school year the 8th grader class takes a trip to one of the following: Magic Mountian, Disneyland, or Knotts Berry Farm. We took a vote and Magic Mountain won for this year! Even though the trip is a while away, you have to keep in mind that your behavior matters. So, kids with any problems with deans or getting in trouble cannot attend this trip. There will be more information towards the end of the year.
The haunted house was a blast, and we hope everybody liked it. We reached our goal and we received a lot of money, but we wouldn’t have done any of it without our fellow students. Next year we are hoping that everybody will enjoy it and will participate in it so that we can get even more money and get a bigger haunted house so everybody will be more frightened and have more fun.
The Halloween dance was so much fun for us and we hope our fellow students had fun too. We gained a lot of money from the students. We can make the dance even better next year with more décor and more food and raise even more money. Thank you to the students participating in the dance and we hope that we can make it more fun for you guys to enjoy.
Imagine taking a test in school and then you suddenly forget everything you studied for. Was it that you multiplied first or that you do it last? Or maybe you are looking at this picture when you were 10 and you don’t even remember what happened that day. In fact, you don’t even remember any memories from when you were 10. Who is that guy standing next to you? Oh yeah, its your uncle. Imagine not even being able to neither chew your food without assistance nor be able to go outside and hang out with your friends because of how vulnerable you are to severe illnesses and infections. Well, unfortunately that’s what Alzheimer’s is like.
This disease has been around for some time and people have seen their loved ones pass from this. Gratefully a website has helped caregivers know what to do when caring for an Alzheimer’s patient. The Alzheimer’s Association is the largest non profit organization that willingly provides research, support, and Alzheimer’s care. They provide helplines in 170 languages, clinic trials, and caregivers. Recently, Alzheimer’s association had their traditional event, the Walk to End Alzheimer’s

The Canned Food Drive here at Silvestri is kicking off! It begins on Monday, December 1st and ends December 12th. Please bring in canned foods to your homeroom throughout these two weeks. NJHS will be collecting the cans on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Student Council will also be collecting cans on Mondays and Fridays. These cans will be donated to the Three Square Program. This program helps feed those who are unable to provide food for themselves. These cans will also help provide holiday meals to those who cannot afford a meal for themselves and their family. We ask you Sharks to help out and bring in canned foods. In addition the homeroom with the most cans collected will win a pizza party!
